The pillowcase idea as an evacuation container came from a woman in Aust, running ahead of a huge firestorm. She put each of her 6 cats in its own case, then put them & some stuff in her car.... and the car wouldn't start. She tied 4 of the pillowcases together in pairs, & the last two with a short length of rope. She hung the pair with the rope around her neck, and the other pairs over her shoulders and headed for the main road. A man in a pickup stopped and got her out of danger. All she saved was her cats. She said the car deserved what it got.

Pretty inventive under stressful conditions, I thought.
